What is SCCloud EaseBase?

SCCloud EaseBase is a fully managed service that utilizes Microsoft Azure Arc as its core technology to centrally manage and operate dispersed IT environments and infrastructure, whether in the cloud or on-premises. A key feature is its ability to support clients from the initial design phase of operations, even if their current environment is fragmented, mixed, and lacks organized or standardized management, by first visualizing the entire IT landscape. By organizing and visualizing the overall picture of the IT environment to design and standardize operations, it fundamentally reduces the burden on IT departments and realizes an IT operations foundation that supports corporate growth.

Background of Development

Traditional IT outsourcing assumed that IT departments could clearly define their system infrastructure and operations; however, this premise is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain in today's IT environment. The 'hybrid environment'—a mix of cloud and on-premises—has become the norm, and there is an increasing number of cases where IT departments must take over the operation of systems introduced by business divisions. As a result, the systems that IT departments need to manage have become diversified and complex, making it difficult for them to grasp the overall picture or define operations themselves.

Attempting to apply conventional outsourcing in such opaque situations often leads to ad-hoc responses, rework due to misunderstandings, and operational errors stemming from an insufficient understanding of system configurations. Consequently, the workload of IT staff is not reduced, creating a situation where they cannot devote time to tasks that should be their primary focus.

In response to these challenges, SoftCreate has launched 'SCCloud EaseBase' as a new fully managed service capable of handling operations even from an undefined state, leveraging its track record as a provider that 'takes custody' of hybrid IT infrastructure, cultivated through its 'SCCloud' service, which has a total track record of managing over 1,200 systems for 550 companies.

Three Features of SCCloud EaseBase

【Ease】Using Azure Arc as the axis to unify dispersed IT environments into 'one operational foundation'

By utilizing Microsoft Azure Arc as the core technology, it enables cross-sectional understanding and control of IT environments dispersed across different foundations, such as cloud and on-premises, on a single management platform. It provides an operational foundation where the entire environment can be viewed from a bird's-eye perspective without being conscious of differences between cloud and on-premises, making the management of dispersed IT environments simple and easy.

【Optimization】Designing operations from the overall picture through assessment in anticipation of operation

Assessments are conducted at the initial stage of introduction to visualize previously unclear system configurations and actual operational conditions. By designing and standardizing operational processes based on this overall picture, it prevents misunderstandings and rework that often occur after introduction, and realizes optimal IT operations in line with corporate growth.

【Peace of Mind】Robust operations compliant with CIS Controls and 24/7/365 human management

Based on security operations compliant with CIS Controls, consistent control is exercised over the entire hybrid environment. In addition, with a 24/7/365 human monitoring system, it is possible to entrust operational tasks to professionals, from daily operations to failure and incident response. This suppresses increasing security risks and daily response burdens, supporting an environment where IT departments can concentrate on tasks that they should be focusing on.

■Flexible options through 3 Editions

We have prepared three plans that can be selected according to the customer's operational structure and budget.

Plan	Target Customers	Service Overview
Basic Free	Want to start by grasping the current situation	Provides basic functions necessary for grasping the current situation, such as configuration management and resource monitoring, free of charge
Standard Individual Quote	Want to reduce daily operational burden	A standard operation support plan that includes primary response in case of failure and provision of regular reports, in addition to Basic functions
Premium Individual Quote	Want to leave operations entirely to professionals and focus on core tasks	A fully managed plan that includes 24/7/365 human monitoring, failure recovery support, and optimization of security settings

■Future Prospects

To enhance its value as a fully managed service that 'takes custody' of operations entirely, SCCloud EaseBase plans for phased functional expansions, such as operational optimization using AI.

We will continue to update the service in response to changes in customer issues and evolve it as a foundation that supports fully managed operations.

Comment from SoftCreate Co., Ltd.

Support for on-premises and cloud is fragmented, and where the responsibility for management lies is ambiguous—this is a common problem shared by many information system departments.

SCCloud EaseBase resolves these issues at once. By centrally managing Azure and on-premises and incorporating security measures compliant with CIS Controls as a standard, we have realized a foundation that can be used with peace of mind. This service is condensed with actual operational know-how that has supported the large-scale EC commercial infrastructure of our group company, ecbeing Co., Ltd., for many years.

We hope that many people will experience its value, starting with the free Basic edition.
